Audi R8 Owner Replaces Carbon Fiber Sideblade for Wood Panel

This guy must have been reminiscing of his old Buick Roadmaster station wagon with wood paneling when he thought this one up. Instead of keeping the stock carbon fiber or painted sideblade on the R8, which looks pretty darn good when done correctly, he decided he needed something more unique.

So naturally, he took a trip to Home Depot, rounded up a jigsaw and some wood fiberboard, and made a perfect replica of his old sideblade and fitted it to the car. The result…you can see above. Ugly? Good lord yes, but at least it’s unique, right? Right?
